LG Optimus Vu at RM1,899

Just as teased
earlier, the 5″ LG Optimus Vu phone-tablet is finally here in Malaysia.
The device is priced outright at RM1,899, which is slightly more than
the LG Optimus 4X HD.
Powering the device is a quad-core Tegra 3 processor running at 1.5GHz
mated with 1GB of RAM and a rather generous 32GB of storage. If you plan
to expand storage, unfortunately there’s no microSD expansion slot
available.
For the display, the Optimus Vu utilises a 5″ True HD IPS screen that
pushes a XGA resolution of 1024×768. This gives it a pixel density of
256ppi (pixels per inch). There’s a 8MP camera at the back which is
capable of shooting 1080p HD videos while the front comes with a 1.3MP
camera. With stylus coming back as a trend, the Optimus Vu also lets you
take notes with its dedicated Rubberdium pen.
Out of the box, it comes running with Android 4.0.4 Ice Cream
Sandwich and it is juiced up with a 2,080mAh battery. The Optimus Vu
comes in black and white colour options. Overall, the Optimus Vu is
90.4mm wide, 8.5mm thick and weighs 168 grams. As comparison, the new Galaxy Note II has a thickness of 9.4mm, width of 80.5mm and it weighs 180 grams.
